On the back of England's 3-1 win over Slovenia on Saturday, Roy Hodgson turned his attention to Tuesday's matchup with Scotland, explaining his views on international friendlies.
"I’m afraid, these days, that friendlies, if they ever had any significance of true value, have certainly lost it during the course of the years," he told the gathered media, per The Guardian .
"There’s no question of that. It was devalued when teams were making as many as 11 substitutions during the course of a game."
Try telling that to the 60,000 Scotland and England fans who will be crammed into Celtic Park roaring their team on.
Host Scotland will be looking for revenge after defeat in August 2013 at Wembley, while Hodgson's new-look England will be eager to show they can win games in the face of adversity.
Bleacher Report looks at the key issues and decisions that will shape this highly anticipated friendly.
